Hurricane Idalia blew in an absolute gem of a bird today. Possibly first ever sighting of an American Flamingo in Alachua County.

There was a pair of dolphins (looked like an adult & a nearly full grown one) swimming around in the very full canal. High water levels thanks to the King Tide & Hurricane Idalia.

Two instar4, about 30mm in length, found sharing the same leaf (passiflora incarnata, Maypop).
They are fearsome looking and use aposematism as their only defense against predators. In my experience they are quite vulnerable to wasps and lizards (brown anole) attacks and only 10% or less makes it to crysalis.

Perunkoiso (Nicandra physalodes)Havainnoija
m_whitsonKuvaus
I grew Nicandra one year, both to use the fruit in dry "flower" arrangements and to see how it compared to my favorite genus, Physalis.
While the expanded calyx around the fruit is similar to that of Physalis, notice the hook-like projections around the base of the calyx. Physalis calyxes don't have that.
Also, the lobes of a Nicandra calyx touch each other, but are free for most of their lengths. (You can see a gap between the calyx lobes in the first photo.) A Physalis calyx is almost entirely fused together into a balloon-like structure, and only has a tiny opening at the tip.

I found this object while walking my dog behind my apartment building. It caught me off guard at first but realized that this was a male pine cone. It had an acorn-like top, pink and white color distributed through the scales, and with a rounded end.

I have more deer in my yard than I'd really like, but this one was special. These photos record the second and last time I saw this albino deer. I pulled in to my driveway after work, it was dusk, and I glanced out and saw the white deer out beyond the pond. I hustled upstairs to grab my little camera, hoping the nervous herd of deer would still be out when I returned. I managed to get a few blurry shots (distance, lack of light, low res camera, twitchy deer) before the deer trotted off over the hill. So cool. I never saw it again and heard later that a hunter got it.

Peyote Sanctuary. Many of these the product of relocation (by the dozer operator himself) after land clearance, which is still unfortunately happening at a high rate in the area.
